It’s official, we are less than one week from Christmas.  Have you finished your shopping yet?  Ever the procrastinators, we still have a bit to do, but hopefully everything will be wrapped up (literally and figuratively) by the middle of the week.  Luckily, most of the things we need to pick up are primarily “stocking stuffer” type items that shouldn’t be too hard to track down.  If you are still on the hunt for that perfect stocking stuffer, take a look at the list below, these are all things that we hope to have in our stockings come Christmas morning.

Dress Shoelaces by Hook + Albert ($14):  Every once in a while we come across something and think “why didn’t I think of that”?  That was certainly the sentiment the first time we laid eyes on the colored laces from Hook + Albert.  Up until that point we had never considered swapping out the traditional black or brown laces of our favorite dress shoes, and now we can’t stop thinking about the possibilities.

Watch Straps by Smart Turnout ($29):  Just like swapping out shoelaces, swapping out a watchstrap is a great way to completely change the look of something you wear day in and day out.  With a ton of color combinations available, these nylon straps are a fantastic way to bring new life to an old watch.

Plain Tie Bar by Tiffany & Co. ($120): Sure it is a bit pricey, but this tie bar is one that can be passed down for generations and never be out of style.

Textured Pocket Squares by Lands End Canvas ($4.99):  Far too often pocket squares are reserved for formal affairs.  The Textured Pocket Squares from Lands End Canvas are a perfect way to work one into your everyday look.  Next time put on a casual sport coat, tuck a Textured Pocket Square into your front pocket for an added pop.

Bowties:  They’re small, they’re compact, and we are always looking for a new one to add to the collection.  In fact, a bowtie may just be the best stocking stuffer there is!
